Ultimate Points for phpBB 3.3

A point-economy extension for phpBB. Users earn points for posting and registering, hold them in a wallet or interest-bearing bank, and spend them via lottery, robbery, peer-to-peer transfer, attachment downloads, or pay-to-post forums.

Version: 1.3.0 (10/05/2026)

Requirements

• phpBB 3.3.0 or higher (tested against 3.3.16)
• PHP 7.4 or higher

Features

• Per-user wallet balance, with full earning/spending audit
• Bank account with configurable interest accrual and maintenance fees
• Lottery with progressive jackpot
• Robbery between users (success/failure with configurable penalty)
• User-to-user transfer of points
• Pay-to-post forums (configurable per-forum cost for topics, replies, attachment downloads)
• Earning rules per forum (points per post, per topic, per word; random bonuses)
• Notifications when points change hands
• Registration bonus for new users
• Admin tools: per-user adjust, group-wide add/subtract/set, reset-all

ACP Options

• Points — global enable/disable, registration bonus, points-per-word, random-bonus settings
• Forum Points — per-forum earning rules and pay-to-post costs
• Bank — interest rate, fee schedule, fee threshold
• Lottery — ticket cost, jackpot rules, draw cadence
• Robbery — success rate, max amount per attempt, penalty for failure
• bbAccounts mapping (new in 1.3.0) — map UltimatePoints' internal roles (User Wallets, Bank Holdings, Lottery Pool, Posting Rewards, …) to admin-created accounts in the bbAccounts double-entry ledger

Extension integrations

All integrations are optional soft dependencies — Ultimate Points works without any of them.

• bbAccounts (avathar/bbaccounts) — double-entry ledger storage. When installed and mapped via the new ACP page, every point movement is also posted as an immutable journal entry; admins get full audit + reporting via the bbAccounts trial balance and reports.
